Reviews of zucchini yellow Banana F1
Olga, 45 years old, Moscow
When I bought it, I was attracted by the funny name of this zucchini. I planted the seeds in open ground after germinating them. I don’t have any special tricks, everything is as always: I put seeds in shallow holes and lightly covered them with soil. In my past plantings, it happened that not all the planted seeds sprouted. But this variety pleasantly surprised me - everything sprouted. The bushes grew strong, not a single one bent. Zucchini was tied in 5-6 pieces at a time. I liked the taste of young zucchini better. Overgrown fruits, in my opinion, are not as tasty. I can recommend this variety at least for the sake of experimentation.

A neighbor told me about this variety. Her grandson, the same age as my youngest son, eats them like hot cakes. They turned out to be very useful for children. I decided to plant it myself. I bought the seeds, they sprouted well and began to bear fruit. But then the leaves were attacked by powdery mildew. Although it was written on the bag of seeds that the variety is disease resistant. This, of course, did not affect the fruits, but the sediment remained. Since the children loved them for their taste and cheerful yellow color, I will plant more. But now I will immediately treat for diseases, and not wait until they appear.

Well, very tasty zucchini! My whole family loves them. And I won’t talk about color at all, and everything is clear. They germinate well, like any other zucchini. But I have never had such a large yield, which is indicated on the package of seeds. I bought different companies, but the result was the same. But, nevertheless, I definitely recommend the variety
